Which type of microscope has the highest resolution?
Which type of microscope is best for looking at living cells/tissues/microorganisms?
In which type of microscope does a beam of electrons pass through the specimen?
In which type of microscope does a beam of electrons bounce of the surface the specimen?
Which type of microscope produces a very thin 2-D image
Which type of microscope produces a 3-D image
Which type of microscope produced the image shown?

Which type of microscope produced the image shown?

True or False? Colours cannot be seen using electron microscopes (any colours on an image must be added using computer software)
True or False? When using a transmission electron microscope, denser parts absorb fewer electrons.
In microscopy, what is an artifact?

True of False? Artifacts may be a significant limitation (problem) when using electron microscopes
Specimens viewed using an electron microscope must be in a vacuum and, therefore, dead
What is the maximum theoretical resolution of the Transmission Electron Microscope?
What is the maximum theoretical resolution of the Scanning Electron Microscope?
What is the maximum theoretical resolution of the Light (optical) Microscope?
Why do electron microscopes have a higher resolution than optical (light) microscopes?
